This is totally incorrect advice.
Varying off and exporting a volume group will *NOT* wipe the data - in fact
it will not touch the data. I can connect another AIX machine to the Symm,
import the volume groups and read everything that was there before.
If you have to do erase the data Simon (as always) has the correct answer -
You must format the media.
However, if you can get some assistance from EMC they have routines that
can be run from the Symm console (the laptop connected to every Symm) that
will perform this simultaneously on multiple disks (something you can't do
from the AIX side). This will erase the data *much* quicker.
